Good Hair : I Really Wish A Black Woman Would Have Made This Film Instead of Chris Rock

Thanks Lorraine !!

I posted the "sneak peek" of Chris Rock's documentary about our hair several months ago.  The official trailer has finally been released :

Per usual, a deeply personal and for some, painful issue pertaining to Black women is on display for the "masses" to dissect.

This type of commentary is exactly why I don't like this film:

"I definitely plan to see this. For me, it will be somewhat enlightening to learn about some of the issues my female students face. As a white teacher in a primarily black school, I have learned a lot about black culture this year. Just seeing and hearing some of the comments about hair makes me feel horrible. Especially the prices these girls pay for weaves. One of my students had a brand-new, beautiful, expensive weave completely ruined by a food fight in the cafeteria in which MILK was thrown on her weave. I have supplied endless plastic bags to be used as rain bonnets to protect hair. I did not realize until teaching where I teach what standards of beauty black women are expected to meet.
On a lighter note, I have had to answer questions this year such as, "Ms. Chibster, why do you keep getting your ends clipped? You should let your hair be long and flowing!" It took some conversation for me to realize that even when some of the girls try to grow long hair, their hair breaks and they have to get a weave if they want a long-hair look. I never knew how easy I had it with my hair until this year!
(Although, I think it would be nice if I could pull off the scarf on the head look on a bad hair day. I look terrible trying to do that!)" 

Thanks Chris. /sarcasm
